How'd you get your current job? Were you referred or did you just apply?

This bastard named Rufio referred me, and they haven't offered me enough to walk away yet.

Manly, let me tell you something - you are going to make a LOT of money this upcoming holiday. I'll come visit you downstairs next week and we can chat. ANd when you get a 5 digit paycheck, don't forget to take me out to a nice lunch! MUAHAHAHAHA!

10k check, wow!!!

I applied and a few people on the inside convinced them I was the man for the job. Since then, they love my work.

Worked at McDonalds when I was 16.
Made friends with the owner's son.
Remain very good friends through my college years and such.
After 9/11, work was very slow at Disney so I finally joined Mickey Ds at his urging.
Been there for 1.5 yrs.

amdskip - i have friends at work that make 6 digits as fancy salesmen

one of my friends, 3 months ago, comes to my desk...and shows me his damn commission check:
$36,000
HOLY SH!T!!!

And then he made a deal w/Sony --
he got 2 36" wegas, 1 centrino laptop, clie, digital camera, and camcorder. Just because he sold 1/2 million worth of sony that month!

it's a great place to work if you're good at what u do!!

Applied for 3 jobs on my college career center webpage. I was offered an interview for one of them and had a 15 minute phone interview. They hired me after that. I start on Monday. It's an internship but it's the quickest job I have ever gotten. Woot!

Buddy told be a company was looking for temps. Worked for 3 weeks, offered position. Took position. Got 20% raise 2 months later

 

[Apathetic]

I applied. It was a "contract to hire position" (after 6 months they would offer you a permanant position if they liked you). I've been there for 5 years now.

I applied (this was a few months ago), had an interview the next week and got the job when I called to check back a few days later.

 

[Danman]

Referred.

I walked in, applied, and got the job. All in the same day too. As a matter of fact, in less than 5 yrs I'm already going to be promoted...to head assistant fries operator. They don't just let anyone work the fry grill, you gotta earn it.
